Iconic singer-songwriters James Taylor and Carole King are approaching more than a few landmarks in the new decade.

They’ve just teamed for the “Troubadour Reunion” tour, recalling the pair’s star-making 1970 gig at the Troubadour in Los Angeles. (Taylor and King reunited for six shows there in 2007 to celebrate the venue’s 50th anniversary.)

This year also marks the 40th anniversary of Taylor’s breakthrough album, Sweet Baby James, which was released one year before King’s peerless smash Tapestry.

When the two come to the Bridgestone Arena (501 Broadway, 770-7825) on Saturday, May 22, expect tunes from those two classics to loom large in their collaborative set, along with a number of pop gems King composed for other artists (“Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow,” “Locomotion”).
